BOOKS

Structural Steel Design
This purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to the general concepts of limit state design and then take the reader through the design of structural steel elements keeping in close touch with the relevant causes of the code of practice

Reinforced Concrete
The purpose of this book is to take to the reader the design of reinforced concrete elements keeping in close touch with the relevant clauses of the code of practice for the structural use of concrete SANS 1011-1 2000.
SEEDA Software
Structural Engineering Element Design Aid (SEEDA) is a software programme developed by Greg Parrott that uses a very user-friendly interface to calculate the strength of structural elements in accordance with the South African National Standards.
It also includes all load calculations as well as three simple analysis modules.
The calculation output (including print-out) is well detailed and includes all references to the applicable standard.
Software Features:
LOADING
Dead, Imposed, Wind, Seismic, Crane and Thermal
REINFORCED CONCRETE
Beams, Slabs (flat and solid), Staircases, Columns, Foundations (spot, combined and strapped) and Retaining walls (cantilever).
ANALYSIS
Simple beams, Continuous beams and Pin-jointed frames
PRESTRESSED CONCRETE
Simple beams (short and long term losses, fibre stresses and flexural strength)
MASONRY
Vertically loaded walls (solid, cavity and stiffened)
STRUCTURAL STEEL
Tension, Compression, Bending, Shear, Web capacity, Beam-columns, Purlins, Column base plates and Crane runway beams.
